Why This Family Moved From Kuala Lumpur To A Tiny Home In The Countryside | Money Mind | Malaysia

[@samsuzanasamsudin549]

The best near to nature, more importantly financial free.. I am from Sarawak, now i am goinh to build up a tiny house in a farm of my laws family, it's a a happiness.. No more burden from finance

[@gilapunyaorang]

Yes, now many city people are building Kpg houses in Swk. City house price is crazy, not many willing to hutang ikat 30 tahun.

[@samsuzanasamsudin549]

@gilapunyaorang yes.. The most expensive property in Malaysia is at my place Bintulu sarawak..

[@darthbike189]

imagine laying down on bed at night and it raining. the sound of nature, the cold breeze. priceless.

[@NarimahNoryahaya]

The house is small but there is plenty of room outdoors. Kudos!

I used to be a party boy in KL, now living serenely in a fishing village up north. No one cares about trends or techs. Even during lockdown nothing really changed and share market have no effect on the economy here.

My husband and I are moving to Ulu Yam too. To a tiny house about 400sf atop a small hill in the middle of a small forest. From a 3000sf+ 2storey semi detached house in Subang Jaya. We are retired and suddenly that house seems redundant with all the unused spaces. We only ever use the bedroom and the kitchen. All the kids are grown and left the house. So it just us both in that massive house. And you start to realise, you dont need a lot of things really. The grave will be smaller. So its natural to just start getting used to smaller spaces.

Beautiful tiny house.. It gives you peace and tranquility, rural areas tend to be quieter and less stressful than urban environments.The slower pace of life can help reduce anxiety, improve mental health, and provide a peaceful place to unwind.Lower cost of living, healthier lifestyle, rural areas often encourage eating locally grown, fresh food, less traffic and crowds and fostering a deeper connection to the environment 🕊

Beautiful view, but let's face the fact that most people can't afford this tiny home nor the relocation. They've been to other countries, and have appliances most other houses don't have. And it took her father to gave her some land for it to be their location. I love the idea though.

[@AnneLaniaz]

I think they have basic appliances, what they really need, nothing luxurious.

[@second_second_]

Does it mean it's an inherited land? Nowadays the problem is the land price. Even in kampung area, land price is not cheap, sadly..

[@samelis6546]

@@AnneLaniaz That's not the living standards in their country. They're very well-off where they are, especially considering how young they are, yet they've travelled and afford a home looking like the houses shown on foreign tv channels. Most people don't get to dream about anything close to this unfortunately. Hopefully, the coming years will bring prosperity to the country. But with people like them moving to the rural areas, it's obvious how bad it currently is.
